I am making bows for my headbands
I already finished a bow but I haven’t figured out how I should wrap the headband with the ribbon I used. I think I should deconstruct one of the headbands I bought at the tiangge so I could have an idea. -_-;
As for wrist cuffs, it’s a bit harder. Designing one isn’t so difficult especially when it comes to something relatively simple. But… It’s not so easy looking for good lace ;_;
Will post pictures another time

Materials:
straw hat
crimson wide ribbon - shiny, gauzy
crimson not-so-wide ribbon - opaque, satin
white lace
synthetic flower
thread
needle
I basically just decorated a straw hat. I had to cut up the gauzy ribbon so that it will go around the hat. Then I sewed it up so that it will be a band. I added white lace to the band. After that I made a bow with the gauzy ribbon and pinned it to the band using the flower. I cut two ribbons so that I could sew them to the inner part of the hat. The ribbons will be used to tie it under the wearer’s chin or the nape.
It’s so fun decorating hats! I sewed up the stuff by hand
